Question

A stick of butter in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of 8 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a height of 3 inches. What is the volume of the stick of butter?

Answer 1

Answer:

$72in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

the information we know about the shape of the stick of butter:  

$length = 8in$

$width = 3in$

$height=3in$

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

$volume=length*width*height$

we find the volume by multiplying ll the measurements of the stick.

So we substitute the values to find the volume and we get the following:

$volume=8in*3in*3in\\volume=72in^3$

the volume of the stick of butter is $72in^3$
